Chapter 88 

After the principal of No. 2 High School gave some explanation, the candidates present quickly understood the general format of the joint examination among the three schools.

It is different from the previous mock exam in No. 1 High School.

This time, the joint entrance examination of the three schools was not only very formal but also used a special prop that is only used in the college entrance examination—the 'holographic helmet'.

This "holographic helmet" can scan the candidate's physical data and transmit the candidate's consciousness to a specially built "server.".

This allows candidates to conduct actual combat in a nearly real holographic space that is almost indistinguishable from reality.

But just like the previous mock exams in No. 1 High School, the candidates' scores were not entirely based on their scores in the exams.

The test results of the joint entrance examination of the three schools also include two parts: 'practical results' and 'qualification results'.

'Actual performance' tests the candidates' actual performance in the exam.

The "aptitude score" tests the candidate's spiritual root quality, understanding, etc.

The former represents the candidate's current level among his peers, while the latter represents the candidate's future potential.

The combination of the two can undoubtedly show a candidate's potential to the greatest extent.

Therefore, in a sense, candidates with top-notch spiritual roots like Lu Xiaoye and Su Chen.

Before the exam even started, he was already quite far ahead of other candidates.

Although this is a bit cruel for other candidates with mediocre qualifications.

But this is how the Immortal Alliance Taoist Academy selects candidates.

After all, the best resources should naturally be given to those with the greatest potential.

Only in this way can we maximize the utilization of resources.

On the playground of No. 2 High School, after more than 800 examinees were present, all received holographic helmets.

The principal of No. 2 High School began to talk about the specific content and precautions of this exam.

"Dear students, the holographic space you are about to enter is a tragic battle between the Immortal Alliance and the alien race many years ago."

"You have three ways to achieve results in this battle."

"The first method is to kill as many alien races as possible and obtain a sufficient number of points."

"But students who choose this type of exam should be aware that these alien races are a large, organized army. If you stay in one place for too long, you may be surrounded by an alien army. Do not fight to the death."

"The second method is to rescue as many survivors as possible on the battlefield and escort them to a safe area to protect them from the clutches of aliens."

"And this third option... is also the one I recommend to you the most, which is to try to survive."

"Because the longer you live, the better your achievements will be. Acting on impulse is not necessarily a good thing."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Please put on your helmets. The exam will start soon."

After hearing what the principal of No. 2 High School said, everyone immediately put on the special holographic helmets.

Before putting on the helmet, Su Chen quietly used the Green Lotus Pupils to take a look at the structure of the helmet.

He discovered that this helmet not only contained high technology but also had magic array patterns in its core area.

There is no doubt that this helmet is the product of high technology and spiritual cultivation.

It is a relatively new object.

After Su Chen knew the function of this holographic helmet, an idea immediately emerged in his mind.

That was the so-called immersion mode of the holographic helmet. How come it was so similar to the immersion mode in the Cultivation of Immortality dungeon?

The only difference between the two was that the cultivation of immortality could feed back the cultivation in the dungeon to reality.

Forget it; he should focus on the exam first.

Su Chen put on the holographic helmet and soon felt a sensation similar to entering the cultivation of immortality dungeon.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a huge city ruin, filled with smoke. And a piece of text immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

[Exam content: Due to the invasion of the 'Nine Nether Clan', the prosperous Yushan City has been reduced to a living hell. The golden elixir stage cultivators defending the city have been killed or injured. The Golden Elixir stage strongmen of the Nine Nether Clan are hunting down the fleeing golden elixir stage cultivators of the Immortal Alliance. Only some Nine Nether evil creatures in the Foundation Establishment and Qi gathering stages are left to clear out the survivors in the ruins...]

[Introduction to your identity: You are a fresh graduate from a cultivation college in Yushan City. Now you either have to fight your way out of the Nine Nether Clan's encirclement or hold out long enough to wait for the Immortal Alliance's support...]

[Tip: Control your anger and stay rational, because only in this way can you make the right decision.]

[Current number of candidates: 875]

[Countdown: 02:59]

"Is it the former alien battlefield?"

Su Chen appeared in the ruins of a shopping mall. Looking at the broken eaves and walls around him, as well as the Nine Nether evil creatures in the Foundation Establishment stage that occasionally flew across the distant sky, he roughly understood the core of this test.

If he was right, the key to this exam was not the strength of the candidates but their ability to deal with crises.

These more than 800 candidates in the Qi gathering stage were placed in the ruins of Yushan City, which originally had a population of one million.

These people could not even think of changing the situation on the battlefield; they would be lucky if they could survive.

The choice is to kill as many evil creatures from the Nine Nether Clan as possible before death.

It is better to take the safe route and hide out long enough.

It all depends on the candidate's own decision.

Su Chen looked at the exam, which was about a minute away from starting, and began to weigh his test strategy in his mind.

If he guessed correctly, the biggest difficulty of this exam lies in the nine evil creatures in the foundation-establishment stage that are active in the city ruins.

However, according to the exam prompts, there are not many foundation-establishment Nine Nether evil creatures in the city ruins at present.

As long as he is careful, he won't have much trouble avoiding them.

But once an unlucky person encounters it, he is not far from being eliminated.

Thinking of this, Su Chen probably figured out his future exam strategy.

Try to avoid the Nine Nether evil creatures in the Foundation Establishment Stage as much as possible, and then find a way to break out of the encirclement.

Su Chen had reason to believe that as time went by, those Nine Nether evil creatures that had gone out to chase after the Immortal Alliance cultivators would most likely come back.

After all, according to the history of the immortal alliance that he had learned in school.

Most of these alien races outside Kyushu come from a world with a relatively harsh environment.

Their purpose in coming to Kyushu is to find a place here so that their tribe can continue.

That is why they cleared out the remaining Kyushu people in Yushan City.

After all, they only want this place, not the people here.

Therefore, if they cannot get out of Yushan City within a certain period of time, the only result that awaits the candidates is... death.

[Exam countdown: 00:01]

[The exam begins!]

As a voice sounded in his mind, the special barrier surrounding Su Chen... disappeared.
